[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High performing schools have more high performing students than low performing schools. Yes, this is obvious. There are some high performing and many more average performing students in low performing schools.

The affluent ones all segregate within the school into a different set of classes than the ones the attended by the poor students. The diversity experience goes out the window because the kids are not being friends with other kids who have a very a different lifestyle than they do. They aren't studying together or taking the same classes. [/quote]

It's annoying to read descriptions of what my kid's high school is supposedly like, over and over and over on DCUM, from people who have no idea what my kid's high school is like.[/quote]

I don't know where fols get this idea of what integrated schools are like, but it is not at all reflective of my experience as a parent or my children's experience as students. When I talk about an "academic peer group" at our integrated school, I speak from a place of years of experience. That peer group is racially and economically diverse. It is whiter and richer than the school population, but by no means exclusively white or exclusively UMC. [/quote]
